Sweetsoul

They say he has a sweet soul, yet I'm in dismay, my mind feels burdened, like it's filled with
                 decayed clay.

In fear, I reel from the chaos each day, setbacks and self-sabotage lead me astray.
                             Oh, please, don't let my thoughts lead me away.

Each day is a battle to keep the wolves at bay; I must remind myself, not every sky is grey.
                 This sweet soul hides a dark hole where my inner child lays, praying in shadows that 
                 today's the day I'm not finally afraid.

He has a sweet soul, but they can't see the mental toll, how heavy my mind weighs on
                 my ability to behold, the world clearly illuminated, like a story untold.

It takes much to control and patrol my inner night, as my demons needs soothing and 
                 rest to find light.
